Xue Ling was not in the mood to go to work, so after drinking some refreshing tea, she hurried back home by car.
Xiaohuzi played in the quarterfinals last week and stayed up for several days. He hid in the garden and slept for the past two days.
When she got home, Xiao Huzi still hadn't gotten up.
The back garden was very lively. Xue Zhilan and Mrs. Chen came with Xue Huan's little daughter, and they were in the backyard with the three elderly people in the family.
Dad Xue and Xue Zhilan play chess.
The three old ladies were surrounding the little girl, busy fluttering at butterflies, laughing one after another.
There was a burst of aroma coming from the big kitchen, and lunch was already being prepared.
Xue Ling looked at the eleven o'clock clock on the wall and felt a little irritated. He didn't know whether to go into Xiao Huzi's room and ask him clearly. If it was him, he would just beat him up.
"Hey! Why is Ling Ling back?" Liu Ying was holding a small ball. When she saw her, she asked in surprise: "Did you leave something at home?"
Everyone looked at her.
Xue Ling smiled slightly and told a lie casually.
"The afternoon meeting was temporarily canceled and there is nothing going on at the company. I simply went home to eat and planned to take a nap in the afternoon."
Xue's mother joked: "It turns out that I just went home and was lazy!"
Everyone laughed.
Xue Zhilan pinched the chess pieces and smiled: "You can't make enough money. Now that you don't have to worry about food, drink, and housing, and you have so much money, why can you relax yourself occasionally? Why do you force yourself to be so tired?"
"That's right!" Mrs. Chen agreed: "Even if we, Lingling, don't make money now, we won't be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. Why bother pushing ourselves so hard?"
Liu Ying greeted: "Come! Here are some snacks! My little one likes to eat shrimp dumplings. I just asked Master Li to make two plates. They are still hot, so eat them while they are hot."
Xue Ling looked at her bouncing little niece and couldn't help but smile lovingly.
"In a blink of an eye, the little baby has grown so big! It's so fast!"
Ms. Chen quickly agreed: "Yes! You can go to kindergarten next year."
"If the two of them had been quick, their second child would have gone to elementary school long ago." Xue's mother joked: "Xiao Yue is already in the third grade of elementary school. If he had given birth to the second child after the first child, he would be seven or eight years old now."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Zhilan shook his head and said: "It was already quite difficult when Xiao Yi took a year off from school to give birth to Xiao Yue. She had to be busy with children and studies at that time. Fortunately, you and your family helped to raise Xiao Yue, otherwise she would not be able to handle it at all. Later. Later
With their careers stabilized, the two of them applied to have a second child - Ah Huan was also subject to some administrative penalties, but in the end there was no regrets, a boy and a girl combined the word 'good'."
"You can't have too few children," Xue's mother said.
Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "There's no more to it! When Xiaoyi got pregnant first and then went to school and worked, it was already enough trouble for her. She really can't raise too many, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of her."
Liu Ying didn't think so, and said: "In the past, in our countryside, a family had four or five children, and even six or seven or eight. They would go to the fields and mountains all day long, running around all over the mountains and fields, and most of them were raised.
It mainly depends on what the parents think, right?"
"Now that the conditions are good, children should be cared for more." Xue's father explained: "We pay more attention to quality training instead of relying on quantity to win. Times are constantly changing, and people's ideas are constantly changing. People in the old age have short lifespans, and they all
You get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, start a family first and then start a career, and you become a grandfather in your thirties. Now we are both in our sixties or seventies before we take care of our grandson. It’s different, there’s no comparison!”
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Xue Ling was eating shrimp dumplings and listened absentmindedly.
After a while, Liu Ying looked forward: "It seems that A Yuan is back."
The eldest and second eldest children both live on campus, and the twins eat their lunch in the school canteen. Xue Ling usually eats in the group's canteen, but Cheng Tianyuan eats almost three meals a day with the elderly at home.
He has less social activities, tries his best to attract customers with cheap and good things, drinks less and makes friends, and never goes through the back door.
People who are doing business legitimately like to deal with him. He does not engage in false business, seeks profits seriously, and spends money wisely.
Maybe it's because he has excellent principles and people in his circle think highly of him.
Cheng Tianyuan's family already has a fortune, so he doesn't have to worry about making some small money. In addition, he has a bold temperament, so he is very cheerful when discussing business, and other merchants love to deal with him.
Two batches of goods were shipped in the morning, and one data was wrong when entering the numbers. The accountant checked and checked again and again in front of the computer, but could not find out where the error was for most of the day.
Fortunately, Cheng Tianyuan was an old accountant. After reading it twice, he finally found the clue.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he turned around and drove home.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the garden, I saw my wife's business car. I couldn't help but ask the security guard if my wife was back.
The security guard replied: "My wife came back more than half an hour ago."
Cheng Tianyuan was secretly surprised, and quickly went to their room, only to find it empty when he opened it.
He was about to go to the backyard to look for it when he saw Xue Ling walking around the corridor with a strange look on her face. She looked at him with complicated eyes, as if she was worried and helpless.
"Daughter-in-law? What's wrong?"
Xue Ling stopped talking, smiled bitterly, and pulled him back to the room.
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly opened the door, preparing to rush out——
"Hubby!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "It's probably him."
Xue Ling was embarrassed and whispered: "If it is him, how should we explain to Shan Yue, his wife and Shan You? A Hu and Wang Qing entrusted him to us, but we did not take them seriously——"
"He is an adult, not a child." Cheng Tianyuan said: "If he commits a crime, he has to bear it himself. His biological parents don't have to bear it with him, not to mention that we are not even guardians. Besides, he doesn't have to.
Guardian!"
"Yes, having said that, it does have nothing to do with us in theory." Xue Ling shook his head: "But emotionally, we are still negligent!"
Cheng Tianyuan cursed twice in annoyance and said: "I'll get that kid out and ask him first!"
Seeing him fuming, Xue Ling couldn't help but grab him: "Don't go, I'll go ask."
"Quick!" Cheng Tianyuan frowned and waved his hand.
Xue Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and went straight to Xiao Huzi's room.
The boy was still sleeping, so he knocked and banged on the door several times, finally forcing him to wake up.
"Oh? Auntie?" Xiao Huzi opened the door, yawned in confusion, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xue Ling felt a little embarrassed and entered his room.
I saw that the curtains were tightly closed, the room was dark, the air was very cold, the bedding on the bed was in a mess, and empty bags of various junk food were scattered on the table and floor.
She opened the curtains and used the light to look at the tall and thin boy in front of her.
The wrinkled pajamas, sleepy eyes, and pale face are full of decadence.
